The first-place Boston Red Sox have reportedly admitted to Major League Baseball that they improperly used electronic devices to steal signs from their longtime rival New York Yankees. The New York Times reported Tuesday the Red Sox used a high-tech watch to relay signs by the Yankees catchers during a series last month at Fenway Park. The Red Sox hold a narrow lead over the Yankees in the AL East race with a month left in the regular season. The Red Sox won two of three from the Yankees during the series Aug. 18-20. The Red Sox went 5 for 8 in that game when they had a runner at second and won 9-6.
